The Real Truth About Success

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested proposed deletion. Appears to fail general notability guidelines, as I cannot find significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The author removed the proposed deletion with the edit summary, "I intend to update page with reviews of the book from legitamate resources" - and whilst I would encourage them to do so, I am unconvinced that such sources can be found. The current article is very promotional, and for this current book release (Oct 6 2009), it is serving to advertise the book.  Chzz  ►  11:12, 7 October 2009 (UTC) Please allow me to defend this page. I know the author, I have read the book and I wrote every work of the article, trying very hard not to sound like jacket-copy. The book is a brand new release this week, Mr. Wynn is just now doing radio interviews and I expect to see at least local reviews soon. I promise to update the page with references and reviews as soon as they appear. The book is published by McGraw-Hill, a reputable publisher, with plans to publish future books by Mr. Wynn. I understand that there would be questions about his (and the books) notability, which is why I made both pages as short and sweet as I could. If you search Mr. Wynn on Google, you will find 17 full pages that reference his work and activities. I hope that you will give me some time to develop more content for these pages, and you will see by my other work that I've chosen important and significant people and issues to write about. Thanks so much for your time.I'm Nonpartisan 03:08, 8 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by I'm nonpartisan (talk • contribs)
 * Delete - obvious advertising. I also have my doubts about the notability of Garrison Wynn. Racepacket (talk) 11:30, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looks like the kind of text that would be written on the book's back cover. Nothing that points to any notability. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 11:38, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete If this is kept, it needs to be completely rewritten because it is just advertising as it currently stands. Peacock (talk) 13:38, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete The book has apparently just been published; only 4 WorldCat libraries list it. it is not yet notable. I doubt the author is either, as he has essentially no other publications & otherwise only two minor film roles. The discussion above is essentially an appeal to use Wikipedia for promotion of a book that at best is not yet notable.   DGG ( talk ) 04:36, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
